This is an announcement for the paper "Greedy algorithms for reduced
bases in Banach spaces" by Ronald DeVore, Guergana Petrova, and Przemyslaw
Wojtaszczyk.
Abstract: Given a Banach space X and one of its compact sets F,
we consider the problem of finding a good n dimensional space X_n
⊂ X which can be used to approximate the elements of F. The best
possible error we can achieve for such an approximation is given by
the Kolmogorov width d_n(F)_X. However, finding the space which gives
this performance is typically numerically intractable. Recently, a
new greedy strategy for obtaining good spaces was given in the context
of the reduced basis method for solving a parametric family of PDEs.
The performance of this greedy algorithm was initially analyzed in
A. Buffa, Y. Maday, A.T. Patera, C. Prud’homme, and G. Turinici,
''A Priori convergence of the greedy algorithm for the parameterized
reduced basis'', M2AN Math. Model. Numer. Anal., 46(2012), 595–603 in
the case X = H is a Hilbert space. The results there were significantly
improved on in P. Binev, A. Cohen, W. Dahmen, R. DeVore, G. Petrova,
and P. Wojtaszczyk, ''Convergence rates for greedy algorithms in reduced
bases Methods'', SIAM J. Math. Anal., 43 (2011), 1457–1472. The purpose
of the present paper is to give a new analysis of the performance of
such greedy algorithms. Our analysis not only gives improved results
for the Hilbert space case but can also be applied to the same greedy
procedure in general Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Subspaces
of maximal dimension contained in $L_{p}(\Omega)
- \textstyle\bigcup\limits_{q<p}L_{q}(\Omega)$}" by G. Botelho,
D. Cariello, V.V. Favaro, D. Pellegrino and J.B. Seoane-Sepulveda.
Abstract: Let $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ be a measure space and $1< p <
+\infty$. In this paper we determine when the set $L_{p}(\Omega) -
\bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(\Omega)$ is maximal spaceable, that is,
when it contains (except for the null vector) a closed subspace $F$ of
$L_{p}(\Omega)$ such that $\dim(F) = \dim\left(L_{p}(\Omega)\right)$. The
aim of the results presented here is, among others, to generalize all the
previous work (since the 1960's) related to the linear structure of the
sets $L_{p}(\Omega) - L_{q}(\Omega)$ with $q < p$ and $L_{p}(\Omega) -
\bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(\Omega)$. We shall also give examples,
propose open questions and provide new directions in the study of maximal
subspaces of classical measure spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "A remark on condensation of
singularities" by Jan-David Hardtke.
Abstract: Recently Alan D. Sokal gave a very short and completely
elementary proof of the uniform boundedness principle. The aim of this
note is to point out that by using a similiar technique one can give a
considerably short and simple proof of a stronger statement, namely a
principle of condensation of singularities for certain double-sequences
of non-linear operators on quasi-Banach spaces, which is a bit more
general than a result of I.\,S. G\'al.

This is an announcement for the paper "Perturbation of farthest points
in weakly compact sets" by Jean-Matthieu Auge.
Abstract: If $f$ is a real valued weakly lower semi-continous function
on a Banach space $X$ and $C$ a weakly compact subset of $X$, we show
that the set of $x \in X$ such that $z \mapsto \|x-z\|-f(z)$ attains its
supremum on $C$ is dense in $X$. We also construct a counter example
showing that the set of $x \in X$ such that $z \mapsto \|x-z\|+\|z\|$
attains its supremum on $C$ is not always dense in $X$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Orbits of linear operators and
Banach space geometry" by Jean-Matthieu Auge.
Abstract: Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a (real or complex)
Banach space $X$. If $(a_n)$ is a sequence of non-negative numbers
tending to 0. Then, the set of $x \in X$ such that $\|T^nx\| \geqslant
a_n \|T^n\|$ for infinitely many $n$'s has a complement which is both
$\sigma$-porous and Haar-null. We also compute (for some classical
Banach space) optimal exponents $q>0$, such that for every non nilpotent
operator $T$, there exists $x \in X$ such that $(\|T^nx\|/\|T^n\|)
\notin \ell^{q}(\mathbb{N})$, using techniques which involve the modulus
of asymptotic uniform smoothness of $X$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Linear operators with wild
dynamics" by Jean-Matthieu Auge.
Abstract: If $X$ is a separable infinite dimensional Banach space, we
construct a bounded and linear operator $R$ on $X$ such that $$ A_R=\{x
\in X, \|R^tx\| \rightarrow \infty\} $$ is not dense and has non empty
interior with the additional property that $R$ can be written $I+K$,
where $I$ is the identity and $K$ is a compact operator. This answers
two recent questions of H\'ajek and Smith.
